Honest reviews from property owners who chose B. Haney and Sons Arborists for their tree care needs.
"Crown reduction on two large maples that were getting too big for our small lot. The arborists made proper reduction cuts to lateral branches — none of that ugly topping that other companies do. Trees look natural and healthy and the size is perfect now."
"I have been using B. Haney for our property for years. They prune our maples every other winter and the trees have never looked healthier. There is something to be said for hiring an arborist company that has been doing this since 1940 — the experience shows in every cut."
"B. Haney was thorough and the work was excellent — pruned five trees on our property and ground two stumps. Took a little longer than originally estimated to schedule, but once they arrived the crew was efficient and respectful. Would definitely use again."
